ABSTRACT:
A precipitation cover which can be easily and inexpensively manufactured comprising a thin, flexible, and elongated sheet of material having a plurality of longitudinal folds and devoid of conventional tailoring. The folds are joined at one end by a seam and are open at the opposite end. The combination of the seam and the folds provides an enclosure with a side opening centered between a plurality of pleats. The side opening of the enclosure may be partially closed by a fastening device. At the opposite side of the enclosure, the pleats have a common border. The pleats are movable from a folded position adjacent the enclosure to an unfolded position closing the side opening and surrounding a person within the enclosure, whereby a person within the enclosure and with the pleats unfolded can be, for all practical purposes, nearly completely sheltered from various forms of precipitation, particularly rain. In a specific embodiment, the precipitation cover of the invention can be manufactured in rolls with advertising imprinted thereon and perforations between each precipitation cover whereby they can be easily torn off and dispensed from the roll, as desired.
